Set 5 years after Breaking Dawn, the Cullens leave Forks for a new life. However, one of them lapses, putting the entire family at risk. This is not a Jake and Nessie story, and gets quite dark in places. Contains vampire violence.

I was rooted to the spot. I had been a vampire for five years, but I had never taken a human life, nor seen one taken. In the instant it took me to take in the broken form in his lap, I finally understood what I was, what we all were. I could smell the blood from the lifeless body in front of me, and it smelled good. My throat burned and my mouth filled with venom.

Set in high school.  Friends since childhood, Edward has always loved Bella.  When he finally musters the courage to tell her how he feels the result is unexpected.

Get inside Charlie's head and see what he was thinking during the "sex talk" that takes place in chapter 2 of Eclipse.  My entry for the Twilight Novel Novice Eclipse Fan Fiction Challenge.  Rated T.

. "Sure, we didn't have all the luxuries life had to offer, but we had each other, I had her and she had me" Inspired from Type O Negative's "Summer Breeze" R.I.P. Peter Steele.

"I leaned over my wife again and stroke every little inch of her face “I’ll make your pain stop…”  I kissed her unmoving lips with all the love I had as I thrust the sharp needle straight into her heart..."

"Renesmee's tiny warm hand touched my neck. She showed me the three of us in this room with me holding her and with Bella laying on the bed her thoughts shifted and re-focused on Bella, they had a questioning edge…"

This story is a retelling of Breaking Dawn. It sticks to cannon up until Bella and Edward are back from Isle Esme, from there on it's all mine! In a way this is how I wish Breaking Dawn was written. However, the major focus of this story is on Edward and Renesmee's relationship rather than Bella's experience. So if you're a Dadward fan this story will appeal to you! (or at least I hope it will)
